MTSS Framework
A complete view of the school's tiered supports: who is in each tier, what supports they receive, how they are progressing, when they are due for review, and how students move between tiers based on evidence. All figures are fictional sample data.
Tier 1 — Universal
≈ 412 students · high-quality core for all
- Strong core instruction & SEL
- School-wide attendance routines
- Universal screening 3×/year
- Positive behavior supports
Tier 2 — Targeted
≈ 55 students · small-group supports
- Small-group reteach 3×/week
- Mentor attendance check-ins
- Targeted skill practice
- Progress monitoring every 1–2 weeks
Tier 3 — Intensive
≈ 30 students · individualized plans
- Individualized, frequent intervention
- Named case-manager per student
- Coordinated family & team plan
- Weekly progress monitoring
✨ AI MTSS Insights Simulated
Tier distribution (83% / 11% / 6%) is within a healthy MTSS range — most students are well-served by strong Tier 1 instruction. Tier 2 is carrying the most movement this term, concentrated in Grade 8 attendance and math. Two patterns stand out: 6 plans are due for review (decide continue / adjust / change tier on the evidence), and several Tier 2 students show enough progress to fade toward Tier 1. Recommended: prioritize the overdue reviews this week and reserve Tier 3 escalation for team decisions backed by progress-monitoring data. 👤 Educator decides AI analysis of fictional sample data — decision-support reviewed by the MTSS team.

Triggered when universal screening or two consecutive progress checks show the student below benchmark. Action: add small-group support and set a 6-week monitoring window with explicit goals and a named owner.
Reserved for insufficient response to Tier 2 over 6+ weeks, confirmed by the MTSS team and progress-monitoring data. Action: assign a case-manager, build an individualized coordinated plan, and increase monitoring to weekly.
Triggered when the student meets goals across 3+ consecutive checks. Action: gradually fade supports while monitoring for maintenance; keep a light-touch watch flag for one term.
When intensive intervention produces sustained gains, step supports down to targeted small-group with continued monitoring — always a team decision.
Team Recommendations
- Complete the 2 overdue Tier 3 reviews (Student B, Student E) before this week's meeting.
- Prepare 4 Tier 2 reviews due in the next 7 days; bring progress-monitoring data.
- Begin fading supports for the 7 Tier 2 students meeting goals; set maintenance watch.
- Launch a tiered Grade 8 attendance response targeting Mon/Fri patterns.
